A small, simple Montessori-style wooden Christmas tree with moveable circles — a gentle way to introduce counting, pattern matching, and fine motor control through seasonal play.
Material: Plywood · Tree size: 16 × 18 cm · Circle diameter: 2 cm
Three core activities:
Place circles on the tree to match the pattern on the reference card
Count the circles out loud, reinforcing one-to-one correspondence
Trace the tree and circles onto paper, then paint them
Builds: early numeracy, pattern recognition, one-to-one correspondence, pincer grip and fine motor control, colour and shape awareness
A nice fit for early childhood classrooms, Montessori settings, and OT fine motor sessions — pairs well with other counting activities for ages 2-6.
